Slip & Fall

Have You Been Injured From A Slip & Fall?

The floor had just been waxed and the store did not put up a slippery floor sign. I fell and broke my arm.

I tripped over an extension cord and dislocated my hip.

The rug slipped out from under me and I hurt my back.

My foot got caught in a hole and I fell. There was no lighting and I couldn’t see the hole.

The toilet seat was broken and I fell off the seat and hit my head.

Businesses and property owners are responsible for dangerous conditions they knew about or should have known about in Maryland. That being said, Maryland is a contributory negligence state, which means if the store is 99% at fault and you are 1% at fault you cannot recover damages. It is important to have an attorney evaluate the circumstances of your fall.

The moments after a fall are extremely important:

If there are witnesses get contact information (address, phone number, e-mail);

Take pictures of the area around the fall (if you see someone mopping or buffing floors take their picture);

Take notes detailing the fall. Include, your pathway through the store/business/property, including the names of any store employees you speak with (and the comments they make such as “I told my supervisor he needed to fix the carpet”);

Preserve any clothing (such as shoes, pants, shirts) and property (such as purse) that you were wearing at the time of the fall;

If available take photographs of maintenance schedules (ex. bathroom doors often contain a cleaning schedule);

If you are injured, seek medical treatment immediately; and

WHAT WE DO

Our Areas of Practice

Put our years of experience to work for you to help you through these tough times. From the moment you call us, we will intervene and stop the insurance companies from calling you—they gotta come through your Legal Team now!

If you are injured as a result of a dangerous product – call us today. We need to preserve the product and make sure you are protected against the big corporation who want to avoid doing the right thing.

You need fast and effective representation to investigate the “truth” about the dog, including prior complaints; and the “consequences” – including plastic surgery scarring, and any psychological treatment that might be required.

In far too many cases, car drivers fail to look out for motorcycle and bike operators – who have just as much right to be on the road. We have found that insurance companies are very quick to blame the motorcyclist in these cases.

In the course of our investigation, we can find out the repair history of the vehicle; obtain the driver’s logs, driving record, and cell phone records; find out if they complied with all of the standards ion the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act.

The Pinder Plotkin Philosophy

We approach every case with energy and a “bull dog determination” in order to help you through any day to day concerns, questions, or details of your case.
